My little cousin read this before going into college it’s a great read with a lot of explanation and research to back it this book got me into reading all his other books which are also great!

I think this book should be required reading for everyone. It reminds us that we all have a responsibility to try to understand each other beyond face value and without prejudice. I’ve recommended this to so many people. What Gladwell’s research uncovers about policing resonates and helps to explain the challenging news stories we hear about daily.
